Our first time at kickin crab and it was so good! So much flavor. Rice tasted off but nothing too bad. During our visit a man came in and was extremely rude to almost all of the staff. He was arguing about some sauce he insisted on getting for free. Each one of the ladies that helped him were incredibly professional. 10/10 to them. They were also super helpful with us and getting everything we needed! 10/10 recommend this place!
